[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 727846, member: 282"] Thanks Augusta—you got me to look. UGA was one of our worst performances. So was Pitt. We’re not comparing apples to apples, so I do keep in mind that one of our better performance could have come in one of our nine losses last year. If so, I think it would have been Clemson—they tossed us around, but we were totally overmatched and played hard. The only thing that slowed UGA down was losing three fumbles to us. From the stats, one of our two wins looks like the best candidate for the best game from our offensive line—either Miami or NC State. Duke was also high up there, even though it was a loss. All three games were at the top of the stats for us on total yards. In reverse order: UGA: 195 total yards, 19 first downs NCST was towards the end of the year, and we got 395 total yards. We got 19 first downs. VT: 134 yards, 0 points, 8 first downs UVa: 372 yards, 19 first downs, 28 points Pitt: 10 first downs, 10 points, 194 yards Miami: 18 first downs, 345 total yards, 28 points Duke: 20 first downs, 379 total yards, 23 points UNC: 14 first downs, 321 yards, 22 points Temple: 18 first downs, 307 yards, 2 points {game omitted, don’t bring it up} South Florida: 21 first downs, 257 total yards, 14 points Clemson: 294 yards, 13 first downs, 14 points. Offhand, I don’t remember if one of the games was good offensive line play where we otherwise played badly, but I don’t see an upwards trajectory. Keep in mind that injuries accumulated through the season, and we played as walking wounded for most of the season. We might have improved, but I’d say we improved less than our opponents, who were mostly healthier and deeper. I think if our OL is better this year, it’s because of depth, transfers, recruiting, health, and conditioning. They sucked it up and played with a lot of guts last year, but it couldn’t have been fun for any of them. [/QUOTE]
